I did go out quit a lot in different areas to watch the birds, but I must say, did not see too much migrants.
Normally when I was picking coffee , there were always groups of migrant birds around, this year...very slow!
I did go through lists of other areas in Panama(from other birders), but also in those list, it looks very slow with these birds.....is it the very warm dry season? Climate change? The very "dry" rainy season.
Curious what will happen the next coming weeks.
Two days ago the first big Hawk migration...big groups with broad winged Hawks.I was confused with the colors, the light was shining on them on a weird way. The next day I did see them first like on the picture and after that they got different light on them.Oh yes clearly broad winged Hawks Small movie: https://www.facebook.com/tinamoucottage/?fref=ts
For the Trogons and three wattled Bellbirds...life is good..plenty of food for them!
Yesterday late afternoon(15th of March ) I did go out for the day with Dutch birders and we had great views on Quetzales .(bird lists see down below)
A white ring around the Quetzal :
Then last Sunday I took this picture of the scarlet thighed Dacnis male and female...better too see them when you click on the picture.
And so this was my story from the last few days, more exciting days to come!
